Palatka Climb Excursion.


There was grand excursion to Fed
eral Point Wednesday evening, given
under the auspices of the Palatka Club.
The ferry boat Louise was chartered for
the occasion, and left the Florida South
ern dock with large and merry crowd
The committee in charge provided good
music for the entertainment of the ex-
cursionists.
Federal Point was reached at $50
O'Clock, where the party was met by
some of the denizens of that place and
conducted to Seamig's Hall. where they
had the pleasure of participating in a
grand ball, gotten up for the occasion
by the elite of that thriving little town.
One of the entertaining features of
the evening was the dress parade
given during the intermission by
Captain John Mullin and his braves,
| the Federal Point Volunteers, up
and down the boulevard i'm front of the
hall At 11:30 the musicians hung up
| the fiddles and the bows and the visitors
| bid their adieus and went back to the
| wharf where the boat was waiting. One
| noticeable feature of the excursion in
| counting the number on board was the
fact that there were but eighteen couples,
while there were thirty-seven gentlemen
without ladies. The cause of this is hard
to explain.
The party arrived home at 80 a. m,
all feeling satisfied and benefited, with
the exception of two or three young
ladies who said as they got off the boat
they wished they could dance till day
/ light"

A WONDERFUL EMPEROR.
An Englishman's Description of an Audi
ence with Franz Josef.


ence with Franz Josef.
London Times
The Englishmen who attended this
mornings audience at the palace OBJ
tanned an insight into the methods by
which. the Emperor of Austria retains
such a strong hold over the affections
and loyalty of his subjects. The ante
chamber of the audience-rOom was
crowded with generals and nOblemen
who had come to thank His Majesty for
promotions or decorations But min
Cling with these We're authors, inventors,
professors, widows and orphans seeking
pensions, and a number of very poor
men and women who had petitions to
present. There are few countries in
which persons of this last category
would ever get a chance of seeing their
sovereign; but in this empire anybody
who has anything reasonable to ask of
the Emperor is sure of an audience.
On one or two days week His Maj
esty receives all corners who have APP
piled to be received. and he received
them alone. Every applicant takes his
turn. A master of the ceremonies opens
a door, the visitor walks in and finds
himself face to face with the Emperor.
who is unattended. The door closes,
and the petitioner may say to the Empe-
ror what he likes. There is no cham
berlain or secretary to intimidate him.
The Emperor stands in a plainly fur
nished study, i'm undress uniform, with
out a star or grand Gordon. and he greets
everybody with an engaging smile and a
good natured gesture of the hand which
seems to say, There is no ceremony
here. Tell me your business, and if
can help you / will.
This is truly imperial way of receiv-
ing. 1t imDTeSses everybody with the
| fatherliness of the Emperor. The En-
peror of Austria has penetrating eye
| and a quick, catching manner. By q
glance he makes people feel at home
and by a word he draws from them what
they have to say. Then he gives his OWL
answer, straight out and fearlessly, but
generally with an acquiescing smile, ana
| whatever he promises Is faithfully per
| formed. There is rothing petty or eva
sive in him. He is a monarch who re
/ plies by yes or mo. but always witt
so much courtesy that the humblest %
| his subjects receives from him at part

| ambassadors A most lovable trait ii
| him Is that whenever he sees anybod,
| nervous at his presence, he makes TIN
audience last until. by his kind endeav
ors, the nervousness has been completed.
dispeIled This sufficiently explains Hi
| Majesty's extraordinary personal popu
larity, SO great that II forms a most soll'
bond of union between races which. bu
for an Emperor like Francis Joseph
could not live together.

A Party of West Putnam Citizens on the
Hunt for the Ffnny Tribe
Correspondence Of the Pdldtkd Neacs-
INTERLACHEN, FLA, June 9.
An event occurred on the Ocklawaha
River yesterday which for exciting.
nerve straining adventure, eclipsed any
piscatory performance it has yet fallen
to the lot of your scribe TO chronicle.
A fishing party was made up, COM
prising some of the most versatile talent
to be found in Putnam County, and
probably is not excelled by anything in
that line in the State of Florida.
Mr.. Merriam Jr., and lady, were the
youngest members of the party, AMI
they being of the sturdy Nebraska stock,
were essential for importing solidity and
the necessary backbone to the affair.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ross occupied part of
Mr.. Merriam's fine carriage, and the
acquisition of these worthy towns people
completed the quarto from the west. for
Mr.. Ross being, a well known Ten
nessee hotel proprietor is particularly
able to add to the fish stories which this
strong combination of talent will place
before the readers of THE PALATKA
News tomorrow morning.
The peculiar adaptability of Mr.. Ross,
for success in this line, has been dem
onstrated on the Wisconsin fishing
ground, and the records show to all who
care to search there, that the largest
quantity of them were caught by the
guestsof the hotel of which Mr.. Ross was
the original host.
But the party is not yet complete.
For several days the proprietor of An
jacksonville has been observed to be in an
absent-minded condition. He has rarely
spoken when addressed. and then but in
monosyllables and in broken and discon-
nected sentences, such as sea bars,
300 pounds" 100 sharks" my old
log books" fifty pounds under oath.
1t dawned upon the community this
morning that Capt. Anderson, of Mari
ner's Lake, was to make one of the fish
ing party, and that the cause of the in
coherent and disjointed speech of the
| Captain during the week. had been
caused by violent exercise of the mem
DRY in recalling all the big fish yarns OF
a long sea-faring life. Ii is said that the
| Captains log books are full of terrific en-
counters with finny monsters, and that
| the present excursion will discount an
previous efforts in that direction. The
| Captain and his family are a power.
full addition to the party. In fact
they constitute the very handspring ol
its u sefulness, and to make the cOtorit
complete and to give undoubted veracity
to the proceedings of the company
there was added Justice of the Peace
a Notary Public and real estate agent
in the form of Squire Lott Allen and hi'
family.
Thus equipped the party started fol
the Ocklawaha, with the grim determi
nation of making short work of any un
believer they might chance to encoun
ter. Upon arriving at the river, the en-
tire party were placed under oath BY
Squire Allen, and the whole company "a

An Unguarded Admission.

MIR. John Sherman incautIously lets
out the truth as it rests in his mind, and
in that of every other reasonable man.
on what regulates the wages of the coun-
try, when he says in his Springfield
speech: There are some things the laws
cannot do. They cannot regulate the
price of labor or anything else This
can only be done by :he law of supply
and demand" Yet this admission over
throws the whole argument with which
Protectionists have made their appeal to
the workingmen of late years. Mr..
Sherman evidently forgot himself here.
for it is in the role of all high Protec-
tionists to deny this position as plain IN
fact as i'm the multiplication table itself.

A DARING THREE-YEAR-OLD.
Baby Harry Fitch Steals n Ride and Ter
rifles u Conductor.


Cincincinnati Enquirer.
Harry Fitch, a precocious 3-year-older
of Fern Bank, enjoys the distinction of
being about the youngest traveller on
record. His journey is all the more re-
markable when the fact is considered
that it was entirely of his own volitiOn.
Tuesday the chill was taking a walk
for his own amusement, when the pas
senger train on the Big Four halted for
a moment at the Fern Bank station The
youth saw his opportunity and clambered
on the rear platform of the last coach.
At least he supposed to have done Sc, for
when the train reached North Bend the
conductor. having occasion to step to the
PLATFORM found the little fellow cling
ing to the brake. his hair full of cinders
and his eyes shining with delight. The
conductor was dazed with fright, but
the boy wasn't.
BY dint Of questioning it was found
that he was the son of George Fitch, of
Fern Bank, and that he had got on the
train ''tos he wanted to go by-by." The
conductor, intensely relieved, placed him
in charge of one of the men on the Gin
cinnati-bound train, and he was returned
to his mothers arms before his absence
had caused serious alarm. He is one of
the boys who can go ON a trip without
much ado over it.

New York stocS Exchange

NEW YORK, March S-The rumor
affecting B. & O., Western Union,
Jersey Central, Richmond and West
Point, and Reading, were amplifed to-
day, taking several different shapes,
and occupied the attention of the street
to the exclusion of most everything
else. The remainder of the market was
dull, barely steady, with fluctuations
for the most part confined within
very narrow range, but with strong
undertone throughout the day, with
some evidences OF a broadening tend
ency. The opening was generally firm
to strong, the first prices showing ad-
vances over last evenings final figures
of q to Is per cent. Western Union
and Je,say Central became features i'm
mediateIy, both advancing about l
per cent, while the remainder were
barely firm. The market became dull
after the first hour and with
almost no movement in prices so con-
tinued until about l p. N, Coalers

continued to advance until full in the

811s cents in the past few DAYS. and
there is now every sign that a squeeze
is contemplated for May delivery. The
magnitude OF such speculative under
taking can hardly be realized even by
/ the big operators on the board, in view
of the large stocks of wheat in sight
here and at other points. Last Friday
May went up from 70 to 80 cents; on
Saturday the price went to S2L; yester-

before noon to-day the price advanced

cline. New Workers, Californians, Gin
cinnatians and Chicagoans are reported
back of the deal, besides large number
of local dealers; New Workers and Eng

bull operators deny that there is any
